Writing support for all your learners

Help every child achieve writing success:

At the very core of Clicker lies a word processor, meticulously designed to be child-friendly and intuitive. This design ensures that students, even those who may have previously been hesitant, find a welcoming environment to express their ideas and thoughts.

Clicker 8 builds on the worldwide success of its award-winning predecessors. It’s inclusive, it’s engaging, it’s intuitive, and it enables teachers to give every learner the personalized, evidence-led support they need to take their literacy skills to the next level.

Jump-start writing tasks

Clicker Grids enable pupils to write with whole words and phrases. Emerging writers build sentences word-by-word, while Word Banks provide scaffolding to support developing writers.

Harness the power of pictures

Clicker’s ‘Picturize’ button instantly adds pictures to any Clicker Grid, helping children to find the word they want. Choose from over 4500 Clicker curriculum pictures or use your own.

Boost speaking, listening and reading skills

Make curriculum content accessible for all with talking Clicker Books, support emergent readers and EAL pupils with Matching Sets, and use Talk Sets to develop speaking and listening skills.

Organize ideas

Organizing ideas is a vital first step in the writing process, and one that many learners struggle with. Clicker includes a child-friendly mind mapping area to help learners prepare for writing.

Support the curriculum with free resources

Clicker includes free access to LearningGrids, an ever-growing bank of ready-made classroom resources created by our curriculum team.

Check understanding (Win/Mac only)

Cloze activities are a great way to assess pupils’ topic knowledge, as well as their ability to use semantic and contextual clues. Create your own Cloze activities in a matter of seconds!

Assess pupil progress

Clicker’s Analytics tool gives you a unique insight into each learner’s writing process, helping you make informed decisions about their current support levels and the most effective next steps.

Provide access for all

In addition to extensive support for learners with reading and writing difficulties, Clicker opens the door for pupils with a wide range of additional needs, including switch and eye gaze users.
